A review by lynseyreads_
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t impactful enough to be 5 stars for me.
I’m enjoying this imaginary world and how it lives alongside our human world, and I’m really liking the characters Maas has created in Prythian. Actually, I really liked the characterization she created even in the human world, for the brief time that we live there. Rhysand, Alice, Lucien, and Nesta are my favorite supporting characters.
My biggest critiques would be 1. the lack of variance in the writing and 2. Feyre. Repeated qualifiers like “purred” and “growled,” and recycled descriptions like “feline,” “supine,” and “serpentine” were OK until they weren’t. Feyre is tricky for me. She is dynamic, but also frustratingly dependent on everyone around her and makes everything more complicated.
Overall, I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
